[QUOTE="Tony4456, post: 2512001, member: 555338"] Hi all, a couple months ago after a SIBO diagnosis I started tapering my carb intake down to 100g/150g a day and upping my healthy fats. Over time I started to find it easier and ended up doing a bit of keto and IF. I only actually did full keto for about a week at which point I broke it and had a sunday dinner with family. This knocked me off my feet and I woke up during the night with my first hypo. Caused diarrhoea, sulpher burps, nausea and generally just made me feel quite unwell. I blamed keto for this so started to up my carbs back towards 150g a day thinking its what my body wanted. Over the next few weeks I had several hypos and always after eating junk food. I spoke to a GP last week and they suggested RH but tbh the only advice they gave me was stop eating junk food. I did have a full MOT done and my bloods were fine, HbA1c 5.2. Since then I am really struggling on a daily basis with food. Eating causes muscle weakness, fatigue, brain fog, migranes and such. Up until going keto I had never knowingly had any issues with blood sugar and feel like ive broken my body. 5.2 was only about a month ago but atm my daily fasting glucose has been as high as 6.2 but it doesnt raise too much after eating and as long as I dont eat simple carbs it doesnt crash too hard. Do I need to go back to my GP for a confirmed diagnosis? Is this my bodys over reaction to keto and will it settle down and go away? I would be keen to see if any others have had RH brought on by doing low carb/keto and what advice they would have for improving it. Thanks [/QUOTE]
